Tho Interest In the Richmond ana
West Point East Tennessee Deal
The Interstate Commerce Bill.
New YORK. Jan. 14.-The interest in
the Richmond and West Point East Ten
nessee deal was unabated this morning.
The dealings in the first named stock at
the opening were intensely excited, and the
stock sold from AZ to 4S1 at the same time
on different sides OF the crowd. IL quickly
dropped to AZ, and 1uctuated within a
range OF per cent. until the afternoon,
when stories were published to the effect
that an arrangement had already been con-
summated, and IL rose to 4S2. There was
considerable realizing in the stock, how
ever, after that time, and 1t closed at Az,
after sales at 47A. East Tennessee showed
more strength than yesterday, but Norfolk
and Western fluctuated on q lower range,
and broke quite badly in the last hour.
The action OF the courts In affording pro-
lection 10 the Reading and Jersey Central
against the strikers had a stimulating effect
on dealingsin coal stocks, but Delaware and
Hudson was the only one which made any
material gain. There was considerable COW
ering OF shorts on the improved feeling
early In the day, and the general belief that
q settlement OF the Nickel Plate.Lake Shore
difficulty will soon be arrived at aided the
market. Later, however, the advices from
Washington that the passage Of the inter
state commerce bill would probably be ac-
complished this afternoon, together with
the news from Berlin, had a somewhat
dampening effect upon the speculation.
Consolidated gas was special feature OF the
day, being remarkably strong throughout,
while toward the close there was bad
break In Wabash preferred. st. Paul and
Dnluth was also strong on light trading.
The last hour saw renewed weakness on an
increased business, and the market closed
weak, many stocks being at the lowest for
the day.
Money on call has been easy, ranging
from TO 5, last loan at 4, and closing offered
at 4. Sterling exchange is quiet and
steady. Actual business at 1921
to 4s23 for G0.dsy bills, and 1851 to 4s6l

ington Military Carnival.

ington Military Carnival.
The New Orleans papers of the 10th and
11th instants note the presence in that city
Of Secretary De Leon, Of the National Drill
committee, and state that great interest Is
excited In civil as well as military quarters
over the event. Indications are that New
Orleans will be largely represented by ex-
curslonlsts as the time Of drll only slightly
antedates the annual heglra from the banks
OF tho delta. The Louisiana Rifles aud
Crescent Light Guard will represent the In
fantry commands, and Beauham's battery
Of Louisiana field artillery has already en-
tered two sections for the mounted drill
and wants to enter two more. The battalion
Of Washington artillery is arranging TO en-
ter Mays famous battery B, aud CON-
mittee has been appointed TO look into the
feasibility Of the entire battalion being pres
ent. This corps Is equally famous In peace
as In war, and the hospitable doors Of it's
armory ever swung wide to strangers. IL is
perhaps the most completely equipped and
organized artillery battalion In the country.
While In New Orleans Mr.. De Leon re-
ceived letters from the adiutant general OF
Mississippi looking to the entry Of bat
talon OF picked troops from that state.
The New Orleans papers lay great stress
upon the fact that the money to guarantee
the prizes is already deposited In bank, and
unite In reminding the soldiers that this
precludes all possible repetition Of the Phil

Why the Title Papers to tho Aqueduct
Bridge Are DELAYED,

Another hitch has developed in regard to
the title papers Of the Aqueduct bridge.
When the deed was sent to Alexandria to
be recorded the county clerk refused to re-
turn 1t unless tax claim of $l25 should be
paid. There is state law which requires
the payment to the, clerk Of Que dollar for
every thousand dollars named In the trans
fer. AS $l25, 900 was the amount involved
In the transaction the clerk at Alexandria
looks for the government to pay $l25 under
the law referred to-. The matter is in the
hands of the Secretary Of War for decision.
The question which was raised as to the
necessity Of obtaining state jurisdiction be-
fore constructing an approach to the
Aqueduct bridge on the virgluia shore was
referred by the Secretary Of War to the
Attorney General, who has decided that
there Is nothing to prevent the government
from expendiDg such money as may be
necessary for the purpose without delay, as
the jurisdiction was ceded by the act OF the
legislature Of Virginia March 6, 1886.

before we mastered the language we could
frequently make out that was meant by the
ring of the sentence. lit is on this account
that the language lends itself SO well to poet
ical defamation, of which these remarkable
people.are very fond. The Zu-vendi alphabe
seems, Sir Henry says, to be derived, like
every other known system of letters, from
a Phoenician source, and therefore more re
motely still from the ancient Egyptian HE
ratio writing. Whether or no this is fact
cannot say, not being learned in such mat
tiers. All l know about it is that theii
alphabet consists Of eighteen hieroglyphics
each of which is, to my mind. more puzzlina
and cumbersome than the last. But as the
people of Zu-Vendis are not given to the
writing of novels, or of anything except bust
ness documents and records of the briefesi
character, it answers their purpose well
enough.
